Welcome to the latest episode of the Billboard.com Pop Shop Podcast, Billboard’s weekly half-hour audio breakdown of the Billboard charts, hottest music news and year’s biggest musical events. Casual pop fans and chart junkies can hear Billboard co-director of charts Keith Caulfield and Billboard.com senior editor Katie Atkinson every Tuesday on the free Pop Shop Podcast, which can be streamed on Billboard.com or downloaded in iTunes (click here to listen to the previous episode on Billboard.com).
On the latest episode, we welcome pop star Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony! The singer talks about her top 10-charting Pop Songs hit “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (which she co-wrote and performed with Shawn Mendes), her surprise at the song’s success and how she’s honing her guitar skills. Plus, Cabello talks about cheering on her friend Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards (“I love her so much!”), sharing Thai food with superproducer Max Martin at his studio, and gives us an update on the next Fifth Harmony album (it’s “99.9 percent done!”).
Also on the show, Keith and Katie recap their experience covering the Grammy Awards (and how Tony Bennett complimented Keith’s tie), their favorite performances of the night (Kendrick Lamar! Lady Gaga!), reflect on some of the big winners, and answer burning questions about the Grammys from Pop Shop listeners. In addition to all that, the Pop Shop team brings you up to speed on the top of the Billboard 200 chart (Future scores his third No. 1 album in less than seven months) and the Billboard Hot 100 (Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” is back on top!).
